Left Friday at midnight and made our way from Shelter Island to the 43. At grey light started trolling up the ridge to SCI. Caught a few big 5+lbs calicos at China Point. Made a move around the point and drifted for a while but didn’t see much. Around 9:00 made the move to the front of the island. Tried several spots along the front. All you can eat Bonito and Calicos. We did catch a big Soupfin Shark. Around 2:00 made our way home. At about 12 miles south of the island we spot birds and 60-70lbs tuna jumping. We tried to slide in on them but they sunk never to be seen again. Number in pic below. Stopped on a few paddies one had 30-40 rat yellows charge the boat and eat the chum but not a hooked bait. A few paddies later got bit and lost it due to technical difficulties. A little over 150 miles travel. Cant wait to die it again.
